Morgan-Smith Isn’t Moving As He Makes Harriers Pledge

Like manager Phil Brown, the striker has vowed to stay and fire the club’s forward line next season.

Despite the drop back into the National League North he decided to re-sign and try to fuel an automatic return.

Boss Brown is delighted with the news, weeks after confirming he had “fallen in love” with Harriers even though he couldn’t save them from relegation.

“We’ve managed to get the Player of the Year, from the supporters’ perspective,” he told the club’s website.

“That, for me, is a telltale sign that he wears the shirt with pride and puts a shift in every time every time he pulls a Kidderminster Harriers badge on.”

Brown and assistant Neil McDonald have agreed new contracts to the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

"Relegation hurt us all, we must turn that hurt into determination to bounce back," said director of football Dean Holdsworth.

"The arrival of Phil Brown gave the players, supporters and the whole club a new sense of belief, and the re-signing of Phil indicates the chairman's ambition to return to the National League as soon as possible.

"We're delighted to secure their services for another two seasons. We look forward to pressing the ‘reset’ button; plenty of hard work is already going on to ensure we are in the best possible shape to compete next season."
